Abstract

In at least one embodiment, an optoelectronic semiconductor component includes at least two optoelectronic semiconductor chips, which are designed to emit electromagnetic radiation in mutually different wavelength ranges when in operation. The semiconductor chips are mounted on a mounting surface of a common carrier. Furthermore, the optoelectronic semiconductor component contains at least two non-rotationally symmetrical lens bodies, which are designed to shape the radiation into mutually different emission angles in two mutually orthogonal directions parallel to the mounting surface. One of the lens bodies is here associated with or arranged downstream of each of the semiconductor chips in an emission direction.
